The Next weekend we hung out in Park city again for a little while. 
The Weekend after Was LAMB DAY!!
For those of you who don't know what LAMB DAY is ... your missing out.
It's like International Days but with Lamb & an Amazing Parade.
Waiting for the Parade to start
(This isn't a parade where you get a handful of candy... The Floats throw 
Handfuls of Candy to you. We went home with Half a grocery bag of candy.)
Mom & dad Ivory.
(Another cool thing about these Parades is they shoot T-shirts & Otter Pops into the Crowd)
Miss Allie Bug getting ready to Collect Candy.
Waiting (mike was getting warm)
Karina & Syd Enjoying the Parade.
(Syd is moving to Arizona So we thought we would show her a real party)
We also tried Wheat Beer. (don't try it, It's nasty) 
[ Karina says it tastes like Finger-Nail Polish Remover
Syd Says it tastes like Old Beer 
How they know what they taste like i don't know]
Mike Tried Lamb in two different ways Fried & Roasted
He liked the Roasted better But says you have to Load it with Mustard. (I agree)
we Said Goodbye to This little Lady (baby L) & her Parents Scott & Amie
We Will really Miss their Craziness. 
For the 24th of July
We stayed In Salt Lake so we didn't have to Drive again...

 We Hiked Ensign Peak To watch Fireworks. 
It was a good little hike. 
 And that is our July so far. 
Next weekend we Venture to Scofield for a Ward Camp out
Then Down to Price.
Until then..

Motherhood: An Eternal Partnership with God


I love this... it makes me even more excited to be a mother. It also made me appreciate my mom and mother in law so much more. Elder Holland always has a way of bringing the spirit. It must be the fact that he is a man of God and that he Really Cares for each and every member of the church. I know that Women have a divine role in his plan and that we need his help to raise his children in the gospel & to make them the Spirits he needs them to be.

Surprise, Surprise!

I looked in my tummy and what did I see?
Little Baby Terry looking right back at me!!!
This next one is the best view.
We are very excited to start a new chapter in our life and we can't wait to find out it's a boy or a girl.  Larissa wants a boy and Mike just wants a baby! Right now we are 11 weeks along, so we've got a little time before we know, but we are excited either way.  Well, that's enough excitement for now.  Have a nice day!
